Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, whose presence seemed like an illusion formed by Magic, appeared before him at some point, explaining the battlefield: ”Besides that, we hope to keep the war as limited as possible to below the Master of Refining Nothingness level, not to fight desperately from the get-go, but merely for wealth.”

”We hope that old geezer understands our intentions.”

Jiang Ding understood.

The Xianmen Sect did not wish to start the ultimate war to annihilate the Xuanwu tiangong, they just hoped to acquire more Small Worlds to cultivate their Cultivators.

”Commander-in-Chief, how are things within the realm?”

Jiang Ding asked.

”The battle hasn’t begun yet; the landing forces are ready and waiting for your arrival.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch was unhurried and even had time to impart real battle experience, saying, ”Landing battles are usually initiated by the prevailing side in an Outer Realm war. Otherwise, our landing forces would enter the realm only to be slaughtered by higher-level cultivators.”

”Or it’s multiple Immortal Sects joining forces to land on a Native power’s territory, fighting over it – the Gang Han World you participated in last time was like this.”

”Without the advantage of the Outer Realm war, there would be no landing battle.”

”Remember this point, as it will come in handy when you lead an Army independently in the future.”

”Got it.”

Jiang Ding suppressed his killing intent and nodded obediently.

”The first step for a realm landing is artillery cover bombardment, eliminating key targets.”

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch pointed to the Geomagnetic Realm below.

Jiang Ding felt a foreign power invading his eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, he did not immediately expel the strange force imbued with the essence of both Taiyin and Taiyang.

Everything blurred before his eyes.

”Look,”

an aged voice arose beside his ear.

Jiang Ding followed the gesture of Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, looking down towards the Geomagnetic Realm below, his pupils subconsciously dilating slightly.

What had been, in his memory, merely a boundless expanse of the Geomagnetic Realm now became much clearer—mountains and earth, rivers and oceans, all discernible; the entire Small World was shrouded by an invisible electromagnetic wave.

At the nodes where these electromagnetic waves intersected, dozens of Immortals of Nascent Soul, as well as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, were clearly marked.

Their hiding places were incredibly concealed—beneath the deep sea, underground, covered by various shielding Formation Methods, aided by the lay of the land. Yet, beneath the finger of the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, none could remain hidden.

”This technique is known as the Star Magnetic Tracking Skill, a sixth-layer Refinement Void Level Magic, which the Nine Great Immortal Sects can employ using special Treasures and Army Formations to detect and pinpoint strong cultivators within a Small World.”

”There are no Golden Pill Monks?”

Jiang Ding inquired.

”No,”

the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch shook his head: ”Compared to an entire Minor Thousand World, Golden Pill Monks are too insignificant. They’re easily shielded by the Small World’s natural fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, and with the addition of Concealment Spells and Concealment Treasures, the Star Magnetic Tracking Skill is simply unable to locate them.”

”Even with our warriors artificially locating them within the realm, it is extremely difficult to lock onto the Divine Soul of a Golden Pill Monk, blocked by the realm barriers.”

”It seems to be related to ’status’ within one’s state of being, and to the subconscious protective instincts of a Small World’s natural order—it’s not merely a matter of strength.”

”Those below the Nascent Soul Stage have ’status’ that receives subconscious protection from the Small World’s natural laws, the same as plants, ants, animals.”

”Those at the Nascent Soul Stage and above, however, are deemed adults capable of surviving in the Outer Realm on their own for a time, and are no longer a concern of the Small World’s natural laws.”

”This is the enormous advantage Golden Pill Monks have within a realm.”

”I understand,”

Jiang Ding realized.

”Back to the main point—the first step of a landing war within a realm is,”

the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch continued, his voice steady as if chatting idly with a youngster at home.

”Bombardment coverage.”

Boom!
